'Tis that time of year again, when moving trucks roll in & roll out. This year an extraordinary number of my friends are leaving us behind. Amy & Matt to Kodiak, AK, Lindsay & Cody to Seward, AK and Jamie & Eli to Saugerties, NY. For a brief couple of days I thought we would be adding ourselves to that list. The powers that be have decided it is our fate to remain in Sault Sainte Marie for another year (or four).
I vacillate between contentment about this possibility & sheer terror. If Dave finally agrees to a second child, being here would be that much easier as I would see the same OB and have the baby in Petoskey again. I would still have my job & my friends there.
The reasons I feel like ripping my skin off at the thought of staying here? We're stuck in this postage stamp sized duplex, where we are constantly tripping over Emersyn's increasing amount of toys. I have to buy EVERYTHING over the internet. And I would theoretically have this job for another 4 years. I'm not sure my sanity will take it.
And so, as my friends head off to their new adventures, I'll hold down the fort in "The Soo."
